Very nice. Any feedback from you guys on the Midwest Industries T handguards? They look solid and lightweight. Might go with a FDE build on my Grendel. I'm thinking PRI carbon fiber on my .223 SPR. They're supposed to be battle tested and tough. Probably going with a Magpul CTR on the Grendel, but I might swing for another PRS. I love my other one. I'll probably swap out my Olympic 6 position with something else on the SPR. Gotta be light. Maybe just a plain A2 stock b/c the collapsable feature is completely useless with my monkey arms.

Thaks for the props guys. Got some krylon and ended up with this:


Now that I've got it set up with everything but a sling (working on it) I plan to shoot the crap out of it to get better using it. Hopefully I can take it after some hogs or a coyote at some point.

I just got an upper with the MWI T12 quad rail. I haven't mounted anything on it yet. It is light and feels very nice, though. It's lighter than the mid-length RRA rail on my .223.

DROOL........ Anybody have $400 I can borrow?

I actually am probably going with a FDE UBR if I can ever find one. Magpul's market production is pretty disappointing on their stocks. I guess they have every available body working on high cap Pmags.

Anybody have any opinions on the Vltor EMOD stock? It's a lot cheaper and looks quite functional.

I asked my wife what she thought about either FDE or OD for my builds, and she said "why not build one of each?".... Uh, yeah, that's a great idea, honey, so that's my plan now. .223 SPR in FDE and 6.5G in OD with a PRS. Putting the MI T12 on the Grendel and the PRI FDE CF handguard on the .223. Can't wait to get these things built, but my taste sure is expensive.

Hold out for the UBR. I cant say enough good things about mine.

Its not lightweight though, so dont use it on a carbine set-up that you want to be a featherweight. It will, however, counter-balance a suppressor very well.

Both of the builds above will be 18" SPRs, so the weight of the UBR will be a nice balance. I'm going with a PRS on the Grendel.

so im looking for my 1st AR. i would like to buy the upper and lower seperately. i'm still a med student so i dont have a ton of money to spend at the moment. Working a side job has put me with about 700 bucks to put to a gun at this point. Any suggestions would be fantastic on where to begin my quest...

what city are you in?
$700 will get you close to a complete gun.

And as you are med student, I would assume you could build one.

I go to school in iowa, so i figure mostly ill have to order all of the parts

There are tons of great online vendors. The only thing that you need to pickup yourself will be the lower receiver. Start with the IOWA home town forum on AR15.com to find a good local source for one.
Shiner Bock
How long do you want to ignore this user?
sorry, but im a complete newb when it comes to something like this...

http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt103.htm

matched with any stripped lower sent to an ffl here in iowa which i found a guy online who will do it for ~30.

...and then put it all together?
aggielostinETX

yep... I would look for a local receiver. Should be able to find one cheaper. If you buy on internet you are gonna pay for lower + shipping + transfer fee. If you buy local, you only pay lower+tax.

also look here

jtdistributing.net/store/kits_all.html

RRA also makes kits.

Maybe reach out to Scheel's or Ammo Bearer in you area and see if they can assist.
Shiner Bock
How long do you want to ignore this user?
well, talked to one of the guys at scheels and he said there are a few gun stores around town that have stripped lowers but for an exorbitant price. He said my best luck for a stripped lower would be at the gun show that comes to town next month, so i guess i will wait for that.

i found this ar locally, what are your opinions?

What's the best method to mount a scope using a mount similar to the LaRue mount. I've got a one piece mount. I need to make sure the crosshairs are perfectly level. There are 6 screws on each ring. Should I LocTite these?

Just an FYI I have a few sets of Magpul XTM panels in UDE (LaRue color) and they will not snap onto the MI T12 rail even using a set of vice grips.

Thanks for that info. I was going to buy a multicolor set. I might just copy whoever that was here and use paracord on the handguard. I thought it looked cool, and I just bought a couple hundred feet of it to make some woven slings.

The paracord works magically well.
